Sure, and I get that. On the other hand, I think there will be a lot of soul-searching, and I find it rather difficult to believe that, among the people who were stuck in the camps or Tartarus, that there aren’t at least a couple of scholars, lawyers, and whatnot who do understand it and can...

I’m not so sure. Yes, Jean-Luc is an idealist of the highest order, but him doing it solo? Nope. One of the background books (not a novel, a source book) once mentioned how he had a couple of old flames, one of whom flat out told him “You’re still a pompous ass” when they reunited. So I’d...

No, I know. But what’s hilarious about it is, canonically (I believe) Ross and Section 31 assassinated him over some dipshittery or other…and now they can’t because it would basically cause the Federation to self-destruct if they did. Or at least give the Empire a much easier time.

On the one hand, I find it really weird that Americans are cheering “Long Live the Empire” or whatever…on the other…can’t say I’m really surprised. The re-enactment of the Boston Tea Party was a nice touch, though, likewise with the Liberty Bells. And no, I don’t think Truman had any clue what...

They can help with relief & rebuilding efforts. I don’t see them as necessarily joining the Imperial military but rather helping rebuild Earth (given how they all, even Worf, have ties to the planet). At the same time I imagine there is going to be a lot of soul-searching among them. Fortunately...

Excellent chapter, seeing just how things are going for the average human on Earth. I assume this is more because of who is overseeing relief efforts*, but still. The fact that Starfleet basically left the average person out to dry, despite part of their existence supposed to be about protecting...

I’d say it’s more likely the latter. Keep in mind that it wasn’t until the Picard series (I’ve only read some summaries as well as the prequel book that was released) that he realized his beloved Federation really didn’t have problems with violating its ideals in terms of political expediency or...

Right. I didn’t actually realize that until a friend pointed out the actual governing/economic system of the Federation (and this was in late college) and I was like “Uhh…ew.” Right. Which I find incredibly ironic, because humans are flawed. Sure, we try to improve…but we can’t (as in, are...

So, as I (think) I have said before, this story is quite enjoyable and I like where this has gone and is going -well, not the environmental disaster on Earth & Luna but, to continue the totalitarian state metaphor, the Federation’s “safety culture” is basically that of the Soviet Union…it’d be...

You might get some overeager commentators who like to speculate or share their own thoughts, but honestly? I wouldn't expect any sort of flaming or abuse like SB was (especially from a certain Trekkie). Personally, I have been quite enjoying your take on the Trek universe -a bit of it was...

If it weren’t for the ICS calcs being so off the charts then I would say the Babylon 5 galaxy would put a world of hurt on them, especially if it’s the 2280s era when not only have the Younger Races bulked up in general, but EarthForce has gone from being an also-ran to arguably the top dog in...

Doubt it will...the Federation has WMDs and such but their general attitude is “We are too moral to use them.” Though as we saw during the Battle of Earth (First Battle, I suppose), there are some officers who recognize that they’re in a war for survival and that they may have to break the glass...

I for one am glad to see you return! Some of the comments seemed to get a bit crazy and I was afraid you'd been driven away... Oof, nuclear suicide bomber... can't say I'm really surprised by it, though. And if anyone deserves that it's Section 31... I figured this war was going to end one...
